India, Jerusalem, and Trump: Policy Transition and Ramifications
October 4, 2018
Associate Fellow, IDSA, Dr Md. Muddassir Quamar’s article on India and USA’s stand on Jerusalem, titled ‘India, Jerusalem, and Trump: Policy Transition and Ramifications’ was published in the latest CLAWS journal.
New Delhi wishes to maintain its historical support to the Palestinian people, but also wants to be friends with Israel—implying that India cannot appear to take sides and, hence, in consideration of the legal status of Jerusalem, it opposed the US decision, despite warnings from the Trump Administration of negative consequences for countries going against the US, writes Dr Quamar.
